Does anyone care where Howard winds up?

The on again off again travails of Dwight Howard is getting to be a rerun of LeBron leaving Cleveland. If he wanted out so badly why did he exercise his option for another year so we could all hear all the scenarios about where he wants to go and so on.

I'm sure there is a monetary reason behind all this seeming indecision.

Re: Does anyone care where Howard winds up?

Sure the hour long special was a waste, but at least LeBron got it over with.

This Howard nightmare has gone on for years.

Ya know, I didn't really mind "The Decision". He was a free agent, it was fairly quick, considering who he is and the situation. And most of all all the proceeds went to the "Boys Club" and other charities, which was 6 million dollars!

I hope he is forced to waste another year of his career in Orlando. He is without question one of the biggest babies in all of sports. The fool could be a Brooklyn Net right now had he just shut up and played last season and left all the drama for the summer. The Nets easily had the cap space to sign him.

"The Decision" was a bad idea, but Lebron was smart with how he handled everything else relating to his free agency. All he focused on in 09-10 was playing basketball and he wouldn't answer questions about his impending free agency. Had Dwight followed his lead, he'd be a happy Net right now.

My only real choice is Indy. But, I'm OK with Dallas. They suck right now. or any of the West teams cause they in the West. But mainly I only care how it impacts the Pacers. I like Dwight. He seems like a good guy that's doing a really job of becoming a free agent. It's easy to be stupid about stuff when you're young.

Re: Does anyone care where Howard winds up?

Of Course there is a monetary reason. His agent won't let him sign a new deal with anyone until his year is up and he can get the max contract. It would not be good if he went to Chicago. The Pacers would be behind Chicago for the next decade. ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. CTRL+F5 reloads the whole page.

Re: Does anyone care where Howard winds up?

At first I cared if he went to the Lakers, but now I really don't care. Lakers are more likely to get an extension with Bynum the longer this takes so that means less I care about Howard each and every single second.

Re: Does anyone care where Howard winds up?

Nope. Don't give two *****. Just want it to be over.

"But, first, let us now praise famous moments, because something happened Tuesday night in Indianapolis that you can watch a lifetimeís worth of professional basketball and never see again. There was a brief, and very decisive, and altogether unprecedented, outburst of genuine officiating, and it was directed at the best player in the world, and that, my dear young person, simply is not done."

I did. Any free agent who broadcasts an hour long special to basically say, "screw this city, I'm going elsewhere", loses my respect. Especially using the Boys Club, IMO, to try to soften the blow. I'm sorry, but nobody can explain it to me differently and make me change my mind.

But, I do agree with the Dwight Coward extravaganza. He's getting ridiculous.
